    Jane
    I'm an entrepreneur, spouse, mother, daughter of immigrants, sister, friend of many wonderful human beings, and recovering lawyer (not necessarily in that order). This blog is about my personal journey in starting and growing Julep, and how all of this intersects with being a mom, sister, girlfriend, wife, daughter. . . Mixed in with insider beauty tips too, of course. "Like" me on Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/janepark

    Hello out there. I’m Jane, and I’m starting this blog to share my experiences in starting up Julep Nail Parlor, a new social hang-out spot for women that’s about the sweep the nation. Okay, so I’m not national yet, in that I’m just about to open up my first parlor in Seattle this May. And the engaging environment is more of a theory than a physical place. And my fingers are painted in ten different nontoxic polish types that I’m testing for longevity. But it’s coming together. Captured right here, for your reading pleasure.
